THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, March 1t is stated at
the White House that Secretary Man
ning's Successor will not be appointed
for sevelSi days yet. 1t was the Presi-
dents purpose originally 10 have nomi-
mated The Secretary of the Treasury dur
ing the present session of Congress, but
he ,kss been so much engaged with other
erfatters requiring immediate attention, he
has not been able to give the subject the
consideration it deserves. As Secretary
Manning's resignation does not
take effect until April /, the
President will have ample time
to fill the office after adjournment
before it will be vacated. The delay in
making the appointment is regarded as
unfavorable to the promotion of Assistant
Secretary Fairchild, inasmuch as had the
President decided to give him the office
further consideration of the question
would be unnecessary. He is now devot-
ing his entire time and attention to Con-
greSsIOnal matters, and the members OF
bis Cabinet are doing the same. There
VIII he an informal meeting OF the Csbi-
net at the White House this evening for
the consideration of all bills, etc, which

THE TEXAS INVESTIGATION.
WASHINGTON, March Sin the Texas
this morning the counsel
for the prosecution commenced the sub
mission of evidence il rebuttal. John A.
Vernon, who held the inquest over the
body of Devices Bolton, testified thst the
coat on the body of Bolton was "slicker
rain coat" in support of evidence that
Bolton wore such coat as part Of his dis
guise when he entered the polling place
.tsrstne alleged purpose of raiding it. The
Ffsosecution also submitted in evidence q
letter published in the Brennan Daily
/ Banner on the morning OF the
Investigation meeting signed by Potter,
one of the Republicans charged with
melting the negroes 20 arms, in which it
wss denied that he had directly or indi-
srectly advised the colored people to arm
and the report was characterized as a
willful and malicious lie. The Republi-
cans, the latter said, had advised the
people Just to the contrary, assured that
the conservative elements Of the white
people would not permit any unlawful
acts or any violence to be perpetrated
upon the negroes. The letter also says
that the colored people relying upon the
assurances of the writer and his friends
apprehended no danger, and that they
| were not armed. The committee ther
adjourned until Saturday.

When Representative Glover was called upon

say nothing now. Robinson is somewhat out of
humor with me, and / do not care to aggravate
him."
The reporter then turned his attention to Mr..

and perturbed, but even a casual OBJ
server would hardly characterize the state of
his feelings az aggravated" in the sense used
by the mild Mr. Glover. Mr.. Robinson's feel
ings, whatever they were, as he twisted about
uneasily in his chair, were not to be envied. He
held his head down to escape the scornful
glances that were turned toward him from all
sides. When the afternoon paper came in it
was hardly two minutes before every member
was engaged in reading the account of the pro-
ceedngs in which Mr.. Robinson took go unen-
viable a part After buying copy of the paper
merely glancng at it. he got up and went into
an anteroom. whence he passed out
into the corridor. There he was met by
a muscular looking person, evidently a working
man, who angrily accosted the member from
Putnam, Clay and Montgomery. He was over
heard to say, in reply TO undertoned remark
of Robinson, you lie, and it is reported on good
authority you got S., 900 for this, and a govern
ment position besides" Here, with oath. he
continued, threateningly, Lets see if you have

spotted. You just take a position if you dare!

instructions: You deliver that to
him personally. Tell him 70 read
you can't find him, return the letter to me, and
will burn it myself What significance the
conversation had may be imagined 1t was on
Saturday evening and Sunday that the Demo
Gratis began to express their confidence in the
deadlock being broken early this week, or as
soon as all those paired returned. Just when
Robinson succumbed is not known, but it
is believed by those who have watched
the movements of the managers closely
that it was Friday or Saturday night
The great fear that Robinson had was the
wrath lie knew he would receive from the
Knights of Labor. So Judge Turpie was in
duced to sign his name to the declaration OF
principles of the knights of Labor Every de-
tail had been carefully effectually and secretly
attended to yesterday morning and Robinson
fulfilled his part of a most disgracefu scheme by
breaking the compact entered into by the four
Independents, and voting for Turpie.

A FITTING CLIMAX.
Jubilant Democrats Join Robinson in
Night of Disgraceful Hilarity.

Jubilant Democrats Join Robinson in
Night of Disgraceful Hilarity.
AS fitting climax for yesterdays doings,
twelve or fifteen Democratic Senators and
Representatives went on disgraceful drunk at
the Bates House last night. After the caucus
had adjourned they gathered at the Bates
House bar. and shortly before II o'clock they
went into the blue-room of the hotel, ada
cent to the bar-room, and locked the door,
preparatory to having grand jubilee Robin
son was the central figure of the gang He was
accompanied by Sam Williams, Jewett, Bailey
Jason Brown, and a number of others whose
names could not be learned. The wines were
ordered, and in less than half an hour they were
all drunk All efforts of the curious
to gain admittance proved futile, and
only the faithful porter, who made
frequent trips for fresh supply of wine, conld
gain an entrance. AS the drinking went on they
became noisy, and the uproar could be distinctly
heard on the street in front of the hotel
Speeches were called for, and Robinson
responded. His wild harrangue could
be heard on the outside, but if there
not distinguishable. From what could be heard
he seemed TO be repeating the same speech he
made in the joint convention yesterday, about
casting his vote ''before God and man with clean
cries of that's the way to put it." When he had
finished all the others wanted to make speeches,
and for a time it sounded like bedlam had
broken lose. There were yel.s of II am going
to speak now" MIR. Speaker, l rise to point of
order" and all the phrases that are heard in the
Legislature. A dozen were speaking at once.
| and not a word they said could be
understood Some of the more joyful states
men finally drifted to song. and several
of tunes sung partially through, in the
chorus Of which all the distinguished statesmen
joined. The songs were not of the sort sung in
churches, and the moral sentiment of some of
them was very low, TO say the least Amid all
the uproar could be heard the rattle of the bot
ties as the glasses were filled anew and drank to
the gentleman from Clay
| Yesterday Representative Sunman's
thirty third biftnday and some of the Disguised

| performance by saying that the members were

had not retired We're thoroughly Disguised
with the disgraceful performance. but they
could offer legitimate excuse for

amazed to think that the men would disgrace
| themselves SO, in such public manner.
AT o'clock pardemonium was still raging in
| the room. Songs speeches and the rattle of the
wne-glasses intermingled, and there was no in
! dication Of an adjournment before daylight.

be done in moment, or claim to be DONE desire TO
say as presiding officer Of this convention, that no
person has received majority Of all the legal votes
in this convention for United States Senator anu
no Senator has been elected.
The uproar almost drowned the voice of the
Speaker after the vote was announced 1t was
a bedlan of cries, and during it the Secretary or
the Senate, after hastily computing the total OF
the vote of both houses, handed it to Senator
Smith, who began with: las presiding officer

be but indistincty heard on account of the riot

Smith began to say, when the uproar was re-
newed with double force, 'the whole number

the turmoil drowning his words completed the
FORMULA which nobody heard: Necessary to a

the shouts, yells and hootings came
with renewed force but through it
all was seen the calm determination of Speaker
6ayre, as he stood firmly measuring his short
stature with the overlapping height OF Senator
Smith. With an emphasis that cut keenly the
ears of the bowling Democrats, the Speaker
said II protest against this. enter my pro-
test against this declaration The gentleman
who is pretending to announce the result here is
but usurper in undertaking to do it. He is a
usurper in fact" These words were spoken in
The midst of deafening uproar. which was

no one would have known that heated contest
had occurred there but short time before.

The Democratic Procramme.

The Democrats held caucus last night, to
consider what they he'd done, and to make up
the programme for the future. Robinson was
present. The alleged Senator-elect Turpie was
nlse present. The situation, as it now presents
itself was thoroughly discussed, and it was de-
eided to ignore all senatorial conventions the
Republicans may hold hereafter. The Demo
cratic Senators and Representatives were in
Htructed to remain away from the convention
to-day at noon. According to programme, the
Democratic Senators will not proceed to the hall
Of the House, and the Democratic Representa-
tives will withdraw when the joint convention
is called to order In other words, they decided
to rest their side of the contest where it is, and
let the contest 60 to the federal Senate for final
settlement
